Buy, hold, sell: CAR, REA, and Life360 shares

Are you looking for some new investment ideas? If you are, then it could be worth checking out the three ASX 200 shares listed below.

Analysts have recently given their verdict on these shares following results release. Are they buys, holds, or sells? Let's find out:

CAR Group Limited (ASX: CAR)

This auto listings company's shares could be in the buy zone according to analysts at Bell Potter. In response to its half-year result, the broker has retained its buy rating with a trimmed price target of $39.80.

It is a fan of the company's business model and believes it is well-placed to deal with the AI threat. It said:

CAR's global network of auto and non-auto classifieds platforms has scaled the ability to generate cash flows supporting growth investment and shareholder returns simultaneously. CAR is proactively implementing AI solutions across its platforms and geographies on top of a technical eco-system integrated into Dealer management workflows, network effect and unique data sets. Retain Buy.

Life360 Inc. (ASX: 360)

Bell Potter thinks that this location technology company's shares are a buy following its quarterly update. The broker has retained its buy rating with a trimmed price target of $41.50.

It thinks that the recent software selloff has unnecessarily dragged Life360 shares materially lower. The broker explains:

Life360 is an app rather than software company so faces little risk of AI displacement given the ecosystem it has developed over >15 years. […] Life360 is now trading on 2026 and 2027 EV/Adjusted EBITDA multiples of c.31x and c.21x which looks value for forecast growth of c.45% in both periods.

REA Group Ltd (ASX: REA)

Morgans was pleased with this property listings company's half-year results and feels recent share price weakness has created a buying opportunity for investors. The broker has upgraded REA shares to a buy rating with a $230.00 price target.

It highlights the resilience of its business as a reason to buy. It said:

REA's 1H26 result was broadly in line with expectations (being only ~1% under Visible Alpha consensus across most line items). Whilst the negative share price reaction on result day was arguably due to a variety of factors (e.g. cost outcomes in the first half, volume guidance being lowered for the full year), the result itself highlighted the resilience of the franchise in a tougher volume environment, with strong yield growth (+14%) offsetting a 6% decline in listings.
